Edo poll: Oshiomhole slams Obaseki’s wife over comment on candidates marital status
Former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has slammed the First Lady of the state, Betsy Obaseki, over her comment that only the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo, has a wife among the contenders for the state governorship election.
During the PDP’s campaign flag-off at the Ubiaja Township Stadium in Esan South-East Local Government Area, Mrs Obaseki introduced Ighodalo’s wife, Ifeyinwa, to the crowd, emphasising the importance of having a woman in the Government House.
She said, “Let us vote for the best candidate in this coming election, and I want to introduce the wife. Incidentally, among all the candidates, only one has a wife, and it’s our own party’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo. Only he has a wife. This is the wife, Mrs. Ifeyinwa Ighodalo.
“Edo women, know that only one candidate has a wife. Better things come to women when there’s a woman in the Government House. All women in Edo, regardless of party, should see the candidate who has a wife. They will take us higher.”
